Hilary Swank will host the 2010 Fidelity FutureStage Finale on June 14, when six NYC public school students will debut their winning plays and become some of Broadway's youngest playwrights.

Two-time Academy Award® winner Hilary Swank will host the 2010 Fidelity FutureStage® Finale on Monday, June 14. The gala event will be held at Broadway's Imperial Theatre in Manhattan, home of the Tony Award-winning production Billy Elliot the Musical.

The Fidelity FutureStage Finale marks the Broadway debut of six student-written plays, showcasing the work of more than 1,000 NYC area students who participated in the 2010 Fidelity FutureStage theater education program and playwriting contest, a joint city-wide initiative of Fidelity and Billy Elliot the Musical to encourage young people throughout the NYC metro area to express their creativity through playwriting.

Five of the 10-minute, one-act plays to be featured on June 14 were selected from among the 10 New York City middle and high schools participating in the year-long Fidelity FutureStage school program. These five plays are cast with students from their respective schools. The sixth play included in the finale is the winner of the second annual Fidelity FutureStage Playwriting Contest. All of the plays represent themes found within Billy Elliot the Musical, including pursuing a dream, discovering a special talent, or overcoming an obstacle.

While all six of these student playwrights will soon get to list 'Broadway Playwright' on their resumes, Luis Ramierez, an 11-year-old sixth grader at Philippa Schuyler JHS 383 in Brooklyn, will soon to get to call himself the youngest playwright on Broadway.

Below is a summary of the six plays to be featured in the finale:
